Why go thru all that bull**** trying to remove it? According to several
people here, you can just paint right over all that wallpaper no problem

Trouble is, it looks like crap. At least, not as good as either alone
(except for that red velvet stuff)

Personally, I think anyone who thinks "Hey, how about wallpaper?" ought
to be shot, but that's just me.


My opinion of people who paint over wallpaper, and then spackle where
the paper tears )

I'm in the process of removing 3 old layers of wallpaper from horse
hair plaster walls. First I would say that I finally bought a cheap
wagner steamer from Lowes and it's working great. The walls are in
great condition considering the age of the house of 60 years. I'm
impressed with the "hardness" of the existing plaster. I wouldn't
consider painting over the wallpaper unless I was a worthless
homeowner who planned on cheating the next owner. Sorry for the
comment but I have ran into those types Just my 2 cents which can be
worth a dollar or just 1/2 cent.
